Stinky Breath!!

I have had alot of health problems with my kitty the last month, and ran up quite a bill. Well my vet tells me that my cat has gingivitis and pyria, and that I need to get a dental done. I cannot afford that at this time so I am wondering if anyone knnows any home remedies I could use to get his mouth back in line. His little gums are so red, and I know that he has got to be miserable. I know that toothpaste isn't good for cats, and a human brush is too big to get to all of his teeth anyways. We tried rubbing his gums with peroxide twice a day, and that helped a little with the smell of his breath, but not the color of his gums. Not sure what else to try. Help!

They make treats that are for dental health. Cant remember the name of them i have some all i can tell you is that they are green lol they help for the breath but not sure if it will help with the gingivitis

I've used the cat treats (Greenies) that are supposed to help but they didn't do anything. Bijou has bad breath but his teeth and gums are pretty good. I do have the cat toothpase and finger brush but I'm guilty of not doing his teeth often enough - that could be one of my New Year resolutions.

According to my vet, the only thing you can do once they have gingivitis is to have a dental cleaning. I just had to have one done on Cindy and I know they aren't cheap! Have you maybe tried for the Care Credit that I understand you can pay off a little at a time with no interest. It's going to get more expensive if they have to do any extractions (at least that's how it is here). Good luck, I hope the little guy feels better.

Brushing their teeth with cat toothpaste definitely helps. I don't do it enough and was just saying to my BF that we should do them (he does two, I do the other three).

I am not sure how much peroxide will help, I use it to clean their toothbrushes but never to clean their teeth?
